My disciples are all villains.

Lu Zhou stood up. He silently chanted the mantra for the power of healing.

Two golden lotuses flew out. Although they were small, they contained rich vitality energy, which amazed everyone. They slowly descended before they landed and entered Si Wuya and Jiang Aijian’s bodies respectively, nourishing their Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Everyone could clearly see the wounds on their bodies vanishing. However, the duo did not show any signs of waking up.

Lu Zhou was not willing to accept this. He raised his hand again.

Another two golden lotuses entered the duo’s bodies, but there was still no movement.

Lu Zhou cast the power of healing over a dozen times but the results were the same; there was still no movement.

Everyone watched in fear and nervousness. All of them were aware of Lu Zhou’s powerful healing technique. As long as one still had a breath left, he would be able to pull one out of the gates of hell. However, after casting the healing technique so many times, there was still no movement.

The expressions of Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, who had long understood what was going on, changed drastically.

Yu Zhenghai seemed particularly affected. His brows were tightly knitted together, and his eyes were burning. He had to try very hard to suppress his turbulent emotions. When he finally heard his master sigh, he pounced over. He came to Si Wuya’s side and grabbed Si Wuya’s wrist. He did not believe it.

There was no pulse, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were no longer circulating, and the Dantian’s sea of Qi was deathly still.

“Wake up!” Yu Zhenghai roared.

Si Wuya remained motionless.

Yu Zhenghai roared again, “Wake up!”

Yu Zhenghai pulled Si Wuya up, shaking Si Wuya. Alas, there was still no movement.

“Eldest Senior Brother,” Yu Shangrong called out in an attempt to calm Yu Zhenghai.

Yu Zhenghai spun around and asked, “How did this happen?”

Among the Evil Sky Pavilion’s ten disciples, Si Wuya was the closest to Yu Zhenghai. When Yu Zhenghai was still running the Nether Sect, Si Wuya had helped him out the most. At that time, apart from his brothers in the sect, he trusted Si Wuya the most. The person who supported him was Si Wuya. How could he accept it now that something had happened to Si Wuya?

Yu Shangrong stepped forward and placed a hand on Yu Zhenghai’s shoulder as he said, “Eldest Senior Brother, calm down!”

“How can I calm down?!” Yu Zhenghai waved Yu Shangrong’s hand away before he channeled his Primal Qi into Si Wuya.

Li Jinyi sighed and explained, “Mr. Seventh wanted to come to Mount Halcyon to find clues about the Great Void, but he didn’t expect to meet the Halcyon Bird and Yang Liansheng here. Ling Guang came to live and perished along with the Halcyon Bird. This is the Halcyon Bird’s life heart.” She pointed at the life heart before she continued to say, “None of us expected Yang Liansheng was so tenacious that he managed to live even after being attacked by the Fire Deity. Eldest Senior Brother, he… Mr. Qi fought him to the death…”

Tears began to brim in Li Jinyi’s eyes again as she spoke.

Yu Zhenghai said angrily, “Very good! The Great Void, is it? I’m going to make them pay for this! I’m going to find them!”

“Eldest Senior Brother, where are you going to find the Great Void? We don’t even know where it is! Moreover, there are as many experts there as there are clouds…” Mingshi Yin said as he grabbed Yu Zhenghai.

Yu Zhenghai pushed Mingshi Yin back, forcing him back. “Why do you undermine your people and speak greatly of others? You’re a coward!”

Mingshi Yin’s arms were numb after being pushed by Yu Zhenghai. He said, “Fine, fine, fine, I’m a coward!”

“Exactly! You’re nothing but a coward!” Yu Zhenghai said angrily.

Mingshi Yin was naturally affected by the current situation as well. The more he heard, the angrier he became. He retorted, “Do you think you’re the only one who cares about Seventh Junior Brother? I’m cowardly? What? So you’re saying I don’t care?”

“Presumptuous!” Yu Zhenghai flashed and struck with his palm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The duo began to fight fiercely. They were actually on par!

Mingshi Yin’s movements were nimble. He was always able to avoid Yu Zhenghai’s heavy blows.

On the other hand, Yu Zhenghai was experienced and skilled.

Although the duo was furious, they still greatly restrained themselves. Nevertheless, more and more energy seals filled the air, causing rocks to fall from above.

“Master,” Little Yuan’er called out anxiously, looking for her master for help.

Lu Zhou flashed and appeared between his first and fourth disciples. Then, he lifted his left hand and right in unison, pushing Mingshi Yin and Yu Zhenghai back respectively.

Bang! Bang!

The duo was sent flying without any suspense.

“Impudent!” Lu Zhou roared.

The duo immediately froze.

“Master… I…” Yu Zhenghai wanted to say something but could not finish his words.

“Get out.” Lu Zhou waved his sleeve.

Yu Zhenghai and Ming Shiyin stood up, bowed to their master, and left the underground palace.

Lu Zhou swept his gaze over the others.

The others nodded and left the underground palace as well.

Finally, Lu Zhou was the only one left in the underground palace. It was completely silent. He turned to look at Jiang Aijian and Si Wuya.

He raised his hand and looked at it before letting it fall again, sighing.

He suddenly remembered that Si Wuya had kowtowed three times before he performed the blood exchange. He shook his head. Obviously, Si Wuya was aware of the risk of performing this exchange and was prepared to pay with his life. How could Si Wuya be 90% certain? How could Si Wuya truly correct his mistakes so easily? They were just lies.

“Wicked disciple!” Lu Zhou was frustrated by his disciple’s actions.

When his gaze shifted to Jiang Aijian, he sighed again. “I hate people who don’t keep their promises the most. I promised the Empress Dowager to bring you back. You can’t die.”

He looked at Jiang Aijian and Si Wuya silently again. When he saw the Sword Box, he brought it into his hand using an energy seal.

He saw two small words carved into the side of the box: Liu Chen.

He suddenly recalled when he first met Jiang Aijian. He remembered Jiang Aijian’s despicable attitude and greedy expression when he saw Unnamed. One truly could not judge a book by its cover.

Lu Zhou saw Dragonsong and many of Great Yan’s famous swords on top of the treasured swords that were already here. This place seemed to be prepared for Jiang Aijian; the place he had dreamed of.

Lu Zhou gently pressed on the Sword Box.

Buzz!

The Sword Box vibrated and hummed.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

All the swords in the underground palace flew toward the Sword Box. They entered the box one by one.

Those who loved swords regarded them as their lives.

With another light press, the Sword Box stopped moving.

…

Outside the underground palace.

Mingshi Yin bowed to Yu Zhenghai and said, “I apologize, Eldest Senior Brother. I didn’t mean to offend you. I hope you’ll forgive me.”

Yu Zhenghai sighed before he stepped forward and patted Mingshi Yin’s shoulder. Then, he said, “I was rude first. Don’t take it to heart.”

Mingshi Yin nodded and stood next to Yu Zhenghai. He inhaled deeply and did not say anything.

…

After an unknown amount of time had passed…

Lu Zhou walked out of the underground palace. Everyone surrounded him. Before they could say anything, he said, “Bring them back.”

“Understood.”

Little Yuan’er could not help but ask, “Master, what happened to them?”

Lu Zhou glanced at Little Yuan’er and said, “People are born, they age, they fall sick, and they die. No one can escape the cycle.”

Little Yuan’er was stunned.

Yu Zhenghai asked, “Master, there’s clearly still a force in their bodies. Is there really no hope at all?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. That was the divine power. Even the Great Venerable Master could not bring them back to life.

At this moment, Qin Naihe said, “I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should say it.”

“Speak.”
